Rockford, Illinois, devoted exclusively to serious injury and wrongful death cases. Since 1967, our firm has represented individuals and families whose lives were suddenly changed by catastrophic accidents, negligence, and unsafe conditions. We are not a general practice firm. Injury law is all we do, and our focus has always been on protecting the rights, dignity, and future of people facing the most difficult moments of their lives.

We represent clients across Rockford and surrounding areas, offering trial advocacy, careful case preparation, and a deep understanding of how serious injuries affect individuals and families long after the accident itself.
Personal Injury
When a person is seriously injured because of another party’s negligence, the law allows them to seek full and fair compensation through the courts. These claims are not only about financial recovery. They are about accountability, stability, and justice. Compensation may be available for medical expenses, future care, pain and suffering, lost income, reduced earning capacity, disfigurement, loss of a normal life, and, in tragic cases, wrongful death.
Every personal injury case is different. Some require aggressive courtroom litigation and jury trials. Others involve complex negotiations with insurance companies and corporate defendants. Ferolie & Perrecone, Ltd. is skilled in both approaches and prepares every case as if it will go to trial.

Helping People Who Have Been Injured on the Job
The law provides important protections for people who are hurt while performing their jobs, whether the injury occurs in a single incident or develops over time due to unsafe working conditions. In many situations, injured workers may pursue claims against negligent third parties while also seeking workers’ compensation benefits.
If you or someone you care about has suffered a serious work-related injury, it is critical to understand your legal options. We help injured workers identify all potential sources of compensation and take action against negligent drivers, contractors, property owners, or manufacturers when appropriate.
Protecting the Rights of Injured Workers
At Ferolie & Perrecone, Ltd., a respected law firm serving Rockford and surrounding areas, we help injured workers pursue all compensation allowed by law so they can support their families and receive proper medical care. While we refer workers’ compensation claims to other trusted firms, we handle injury lawsuits against negligent parties responsible for workplace harm.
Clients often come to us with important questions, including:
- How much compensation may be available for my injury?
- Can I choose my own doctor after a work-related accident?
- What happens if I can only return to work in a limited capacity?
- What if my workers’ compensation claim is denied?
- What if my employer’s insurer disputes how the injury occurred?
- What if a negligent driver or third party caused my injury?
- What if defective equipment or unsafe products played a role?
- How do I know when I need a lawyer?
We provide clear answers and guidance so injured workers can make informed decisions about their cases.
Construction Accidents
Construction sites are governed by state and federal safety regulations and many times serious accidents still occur when those rules are ignored. Contractors, subcontractors, property owners, and manufacturers may all share responsibility when unsafe practices or defective equipment lead to injury. Construction workers are often the ones who suffer the most severe consequences.
